The Privy Council Education Committee reports on Welsh education, noting only about 300 of 800 parishes have grant aided schools. Nonconformists resist Church influence, with some employers funding church schools for workers, causing double costs. A shift toward secular schooling is seen, with calls to keep religion out of instruction while maintaining Christian character in teachers. The report presents evolving views rather than fixed conclusions.

Pressure comes from Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol and Archdeacon Freeman supporting Bishop Trower.
